Len,

In order for us to install necessary software and provide you with a data 
feed, we will need login information for your machine including root
access for installing the LDM, and any logins that may have
been created for the Gempak and McIDAS software.

Once you provide us with the machine name and logins, we can determine if
your machine has the required configuration, as well as operating system.
Please email this information to address@hidden. You may want
to set a temporary root password for the duration of the installation,
or change the root password after we notify you that installation is complete.
